Clinical manifestations

1. Acute scrotal eczema

The main symptom is itching, and patients often discover the disease because of itching in the scrotum. As the disease progresses, the itching gradually worsens, and scratching cannot relieve the itching. In severe cases, it affects sleep and work.

2. Chronic scrotal eczema

It is caused by long-term unhealed acute and subacute eczema and repeated attacks. Due to the long time and constant scratching, the skin of the scrotum becomes dry and thick, with deep wrinkles and walnut-like skin, often with thin scabs and scales, and the skin pigmentation deepens; there are also cases where the pigmentation is reduced due to scratching. It is often severely itchy and unable to fall asleep. Due to the difficulty in treatment and repeated failure to heal, the scrotal skin may change like eczema.

3. Subacute scrotal eczema

It is a transformation from acute scrotal eczema, characterized by mild thickening and mild erosion of the scrotal skin, more scaling, little exudate, and still severe itching.
